5. Zimmerman contextualizes Apollo 8 within the chaos of 1968, including the Vietnam War and social unrest. He argues that while the mission demonstrated democratic achievement, NASA's top-down structure mirrored Soviet models. This centralized approach eventually led to the program's decline after the moon landing. (5)1917

7 takeaways from this study Bring your whole self to God. Treat prayer, worship and daily life as korban — “offering,” or that which comes near — by being fully present, not half‑hearted. Let love cost you something. Choose costly, inconvenient acts of love (time, energy, money) as your “fragrant offering” to God. Do every task as unto the LORD. Whether cleaning, working, or serving, act as if God Himself is your boss. Practice servant leadership. If you lead (home, work, ministry), lead by lowering yourself — serving listening, and bearing others' burdens. Love your nearest neighbors first. Apply “love your neighbor as yourself” to spouse, children, roommates, and close friends before “the world.” Die to self daily. Regularly ask, “What part of my pride, comfort, or control needs to ‘get on the altar' today?” Live as God's dwelling place. Remember you are now a living tabernacle; carry God's presence into your workplace, neighborhood, and relationships. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Messiah also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. Ephesians 5:1–2 NASB 1995 This is not an abstract idea. It is rooted in the concrete pattern God gave Israel in the Torah, especially in the מִשְׁכָּן Mishkan (“dwelling place,” the Tabernacle) and the קָרְבָּנוֹת korbanot (“offerings,” the things that approach). What does it really look like to “imitate God” in love today? The pattern behind ‘be imitators of God’ Paul's phrase “be imitators of God” in Ephesians 5:1 uses the Greek word μιμηταί mimētai (“imitate,” “copy a pattern”). Imitation always raises a question: imitate what? God has not left us guessing. He gave Israel a visible, enacted pattern in the Torah: The pattern of the Mishkan in Exodus (Exodus 25–40) The pattern of the offerings in Leviticus (especially Leviticus 1–2) The larger pattern of His dealings with Israel in the prophets (Isaiah 48–49 and beyond) Moshe (Moses) himself asked, “Show me Your glory” (Exodus 33:18). God answered by both revealing His character and giving a pattern — “the pattern shown to you on the mountain” for the Mishkan (Exodus 25:40). Paul draws on that same pattern when he speaks about Messiah's sacrifice as a “fragrant aroma” (Ephesians 5:2), echoing the repeated phrase in Leviticus, “a soothing aroma to the Lord” (Leviticus 1:9). So, to imitate God, we do not just reach for vague spirituality. We look at the concrete story God told through Israel's worship, and then at how Messiah fulfills and deepens that story. Called to draw near The book of Leviticus is called וַיִּקְרָא Vayikra (“And He called”) in Hebrew, from its opening word: “Then the LORD called to Moses…” (Leviticus 1:1). This calling comes from the Mishkan, from within the Tent of Meeting. It is a summons to draw near. קָרְבָּן korban comes from the Hebrew root קרב karav (“to draw near, approach”). A korban is not just “something you give.” It is “the thing by which you draw near,” in other words, it’s the offering-bringer. In Leviticus 1:1–9, we see the burnt offering described: The animal comes from the herd or flock, “a male without defect” (Leviticus 1:3) The worshiper brings it “to the doorway of the tent of meeting” (Leviticus 1:3) He lays his hand on its head, and it is accepted “to make atonement on his behalf” (Leviticus 1:4) The entire animal is burned on the altar as “an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the LORD” (Leviticus 1:9, NASB 1995) The person does not simply send the animal off. He identifies with it by laying his hand on its head. In that act, he is, in a sense, saying, “This is me going in. Let this be accepted for me.” This becomes a powerful picture of how we approach God in Messiah. When we trust in Him, we “lean” our whole weight (worth, glory, faith, trust) on Him, just as the Israelite physically leaned on the korban. He goes in before the Father as our substitute. A restful aroma Leviticus repeatedly uses the phrase רֵיחַ נִיחוֹחַ re'ach nichoach (“soothing aroma,” “pleasing aroma”). The word נִיחוֹחַ nichoach comes from the same Hebrew root as Noah’s name נֹחַ Noach (“rest”). You could almost say “a restful aroma.” That raises a paradox. How can the smell of burning flesh be “restful” or “soothing”? To the modern mind, sacrificial slaughter feels barbaric and repulsive. Yet that reaction is part of the point. It is meant to shock us into seeing how serious our alienation from God really is. An innocent animal — who never chose to sin, transgress, rebel — dies so that the worshiper can draw near spiritually by its blood. That injustice should bother us. It hints at something far worse and far more costly: the innocent suffering of Messiah Himself. This “restful aroma” signals that something has been put right. Judgment has fallen. A costly substitute has given its life. Reconciliation has begun. Rest, in a sense, now has a basis. From common to other: The Mishkan as training in holiness Outside the camp is ordinary, “common” life. Inside the Mishkan's courts and especially beyond the inner veil is the concentrated presence of the Creator, the One who is other, “holy” than His creation. Exodus 40:34–38 describes how the cloud filled the Mishkan so strongly that even Moshe and the priests could not enter at first. As the cloud and fire moved, Israel moved. When the cloud rested, Israel rested. It was like following a Leader through the wilderness: The cloud and fire guided their travel and their rest (Exodus 40:36–38). The visible presence in the center of the camp taught them to stay oriented to God. The very layout of the Mishkan trained them to respect the boundary between common and holy. Holiness (קֹדֶשׁ kodesh, “set apart”) here does not mean otherworldly and irrelevant. Rather, it means dedicated for God's special purpose. The Mishkan was not man's religious invention. It was a Heaven-designed pattern for reconciliation between a holy God and a compromised people. This pattern is as relevant as ever. We live in a world that treats everything as common. The Mishkan and the korbanot remind us that God is not just “there” in a vague sense. He is holy. To draw near, something must change — both in our status and in our hearts. The innocent substitute and the cost of sin Stop and soak in the emotional impact of the sacrifice at the Mishkan. An innocent sheep, goat, or bull dies because the human worshiper has broken fellowship with the Creator. To us, that seems oppressive or even unjust. Yet that discomfort exposes how numb we often are to the horror of sin. We are like frogs in a slowly heated pot. The water grows hotter, but we adjust. We stop noticing how dangerous our situation is. From the outside, it looks insane to stay in the boiling water, or, spiritually speaking, in the “muck” of rebellion and brokenness. Sacrifice is God's wake-up call. It says, “This separation is deadly. This is what it costs to fix it. The innocent must suffer.” All this points forward to the ultimate innocent substitute, the “Lamb of God” who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). In Isaiah, He appears as the עֶבֶד יְהוָה Eved Adonai (“Servant of the LORD”), especially in Isaiah 53. Israel, the Servant, and the Son Here are the main “Servant Songs” in Isaiah: Isaiah 42:1–9 Begins: “Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights…” Themes: Justice to the nations, gentle yet firm, a light to the nations. Isaiah 49:1–13 Begins: “Listen to Me, O islands, and pay attention, you peoples from afar…” Themes: Called from the womb, Servant named “Israel,” restoring Jacob and being a light to the nations. Isaiah 50:4–11 Begins: “The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples…” Themes: Obedient Servant, suffering, not turning back, offering His back to those who strike. Isaiah 52:13–53:12 Begins: “Behold, My Servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.” Themes: Deep suffering, rejection, bearing sins, substitutionary atonement, ultimate vindication. PassageKey themesMessianic connection to YeshuaIsaiah 42:1–9• “My Servant… My chosen one in whom My soul delights” (Isa 42:1)• Spirit-empowered Servant brings justice to the nations – Gentle: “A bruised reed He will not break” (Isa 42:3) • Light to the nations, opening blind eyes, freeing captives (Isa 42:6–7)• Echoed at Yeshua's immersion: “My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased” (Matthew 3:17)• His Spirit-anointed ministry to the poor, blind, and oppressed (Luke 4:16–21)• Yeshua as light of the world (John 8:12) and to the nations (Luke 2:32)Isaiah 49:1–13• Servant called “from the womb” and named by God (Isa 49:1)• Called Israel, yet sent to restore Israel (Isa 49:3–6)• Made “a light of the nations” and “My salvation to the end of the earth” (Isa 49:6)• Mirrored in Yeshua's conception and naming (Matthew 1:20–21; Luke 1:31)•Servant both represents Israel and rescues Israel, fitting Yeshua as the faithful Israelite who restores His people (Romans 11:25–27)• Explicitly fulfilled as salvation reaching the nations through the gospel (Acts 13:47)Isaiah 50:4–11• “Tongue of disciples” to sustain the weary (Isa 50:4) – Obedient Servant: “I was not disobedient nor did I turn back” (Isa 50:5)• Offers His back to those who strike Him, face to those who pluck out the beard (Isa 50:6)• Trusts God as vindicator despite shame and opposition• Yeshua as the obedient Son who always does the Father's will (John 8:29)• His suffering, mockery, and abuse before crucifixion echo this imagery (Matthew 26–27)• He entrusts Himself to the Father's vindication in resurrection (1Peter 2:23–24)Isaiah 52:13–53:12• “My Servant will prosper… be high and lifted up” (Isa 52:13)• Startling suffering and disfigurement (Isa 52:14)• Despised, rejected, “a man of sorrows” (Isa 53:3)• Bears our griefs and sorrows; pierced for our transgressions (Isa 53:4–5)• The LORD lays on Him the iniquity of us all (Isa 53:6)• Like a lamb led to slaughter (Isa 53:7)• Makes Himself a guilt offering (אָשָׁם asham) and justifies many (53:10–11)• Central Messianic prophecy in the Besorah (gospel) preaching (Acts 8:30–35)• Yeshua's atoning death as substitutionary sacrifice, bearing sins of Israel and the nations (1Peter 2:24–25)• Lamb imagery connects directly to Passover (Exodus 12; John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:7) and sacrificial system (Leviticus 1–7)• Resurrection hinted: “He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days” (53:10) However, many scholars and teachers see additional Servant sections that connect with these: Isaiah 41:8–9: Israel as “My servant” Isaiah 44:1–2, 21: “Jacob My servant… Jeshurun whom I have chosen” Isaiah 45:4: “My servant Jacob, and Israel My chosen one” Isaiah 48:20; 49:7: Further Servant language and mission themes Isaiah 48–49 speaks both of Israel as God's servant and of a Servant whose calling seems to go beyond the nation itself: “Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.” (Isaiah 48:12) “He said to Me, ‘You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will show My glory.'” (Isaiah 49:3) Yet this Servant also has a mission to Israel and to the nations. From a Messianic Jewish reading, this points to a layered meaning: Israel as a people is called to be God's servant, His representative. But Israel fails to live out that mission consistently. Therefore a singular Servant arises, embodying Israel's calling and extending it to the nations — Messiah Himself. The Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of the TaNaKh) uses the word παῖς pais for “servant” here. Pais can mean “servant,” but also “child” or “son.” That linguistic overlap helps us see how the idea of “Servant of the LORD” connects closely with “Son of God” in the New Covenant writings. Messiah, the faithful Son, takes up Israel's mission where Israel failed. He lives as the perfect eved Adonai, the true Israelite who fully embodies God's purposes. From ‘I am the first and the last’ to Lamb of God Isaiah's declaration, “I am the first, I am also the last” (Isaiah 48:12) echoes later in the book of Revelation. Apostle Yokhanan (John) sees “one like a son of man” standing among seven golden lampstands: “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore…” Revelation 1:12–13 NASB 1995 At the end of the book, we hear: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” Revelation 22:13 NASB 1995 The same One whose identity language echoes Isaiah's “first and last” is also the slain and risen Lamb. He is the One whose blood washes robes white (Revelation 7:14). Again, we encounter a paradox: We wash garments in blood, and they become clean. Just as the korban system seems shocking, so does this cleansing image. But both point to the same truth: Reconciliation costs life. And that life, once given, brings true purity. This picture escalates through Scripture: God calls Avraham (Abraham) out of confusion and into a land of promise. God forms a people, Israel, as His covenant partner. God dwells among them in the Mishkan. God “tabernacles” among us in Messiah: “the Word became flesh, and dwelt (σκηνόω skēnoō, “tabernacled”) among us” (John 1:14). God finally dwells with redeemed humanity in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:3). Each stage intensifies God's desire to dwell in the midst of His people and to transform them. ‘Living sacrifice’ We can ask how the Mishkan model applies today. Apostle Paul answers this: Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. Romans 12:1 NASB 1995 This is the bridge from Leviticus to our daily lives. We do not bring bulls and goats to a physical altar today, because the Temple is not currently in service. Yet the original and enduring principle of korban — of drawing near through the all-in offering of ourselves — has always held. The “altar” is our whole life in Messiah. We present ourselves — heart (mind and emotions), soul (life), resources (time, energy) — as a continual offering. We “lean” on Yeshua, our once-for-all korban, and then live as those who belong entirely to God. This does not erase the Torah instructions. Rather, it fills them full of significance and internalizes them. The journey through the courtyard, past the altar, through the Holy Place, and into the Holy of Holies becomes a spiritual pattern every time we seek God in prayer, obedience, and service. Love of God and neighbor: One movement, not two The Bible’s greatest commandments are tightly intertwined to the sacrificial pattern. Yeshua sums up the Torah and the Prophets with two commands: Love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and might (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37). Love your neighbor as yourself (Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:39). Loving God “with all your heart, soul, and strength” means you hold nothing back. You love Him with your emotions, your life itself, and your resources. That is sacrificial. It fits the pattern of korban. But you cannot stop there. Real, charitable love for God spills into love for neighbor, starting with those closest to you: your spouse, family, friends, community. In Ephesians 5, Paul applies Messiah's sacrificial love to marriage: Husbands are to love (ἀγάπη agapē, “self-giving, charitable love”) their wives. Messiah loved the ἐκκλησία ekklēsia (“assembly, congregation”) and gave Himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25–27). Agapē is not sentimentality. It is costly, loyal love, much like the Hebrew חסד ḥesed (“lovingkindness,” “covenant loyalty”). It washes, sanctifies, and beautifies the beloved. To imitate God, then, is to let our relationships be reshaped by this sacrificial love. This includes servant leadership in the home, mutual honor, and a refusal to “lord it over” others. Servant leadership and submitting under the status quo Paul's language on submission in Ephesians 5 means “be subject.” The term points to moving “under” an existing order, not to become passive, but to change it from beneath. This connects to Yeshua's own teaching. The greatest must become the servant; the master behaves as the slave of all (Matthew 20:26–28). At Passover, Yeshua models this by washing His disciples' feet (John 13). The Master takes the role of the lowest servant. This is profoundly consistent with the Mishkan pattern. The God of Israel, exalted above all, chooses to “go low”: He dwells in a tent among a redeemed slave people. He accepts the death of innocent korbanot for their sake. Ultimately, He sends His Son to suffer and die to bring them near. If God leads this way, then leaders in His kingdom must also lead by going low. They bear the burdens of others. They open themselves to accountability. They genuinely care what others need, not just what they plan to give. They serve first, then lead. Dying to self and living in Messiah Messiah calls us to be willing to lose your life in order to save it (e.g., Matthew 16:25). This is not just about physical martyrdom, though many have literally died for their witness. It is about daily death to self, laying down pride, fear, and self-protection. Fear of death can drive people to horrific choices. But those who know Messiah has already passed through death and risen gain new courage. They can hold even their own life more loosely. They can choose faithfulness over survival at any cost. This brings the circle back to Leviticus and Ephesians 5. To “walk in love” as Messiah did is to live as a continual offering: We “climb on the altar” daily as living sacrifices. We trust that when something in us dies — selfishness, ego, comfort — something truer comes alive. We lean on Messiah as our korban, entering “through the veil” into God's presence (echoing Hebrews 10:19–20). In this way, the ancient smoke of the מִזְבֵּחַ עֹלָה, mizbeach ʿolah (“altar of burnt offering”) becomes a living metaphor. Our lives rise before God as a re'ach nichoach — a restful aroma — not because we are perfect, but because we are in Messiah, the ultimate fragrant offering. Hands on the korban, hearts in the Presence Heaven invites us to see our discipleship through the lens of Israel's story: The Mishkan shows God's desire to dwell in the midst of His people. The korbanot show the cost of drawing near. The Servant of the LORD in Isaiah shows the mission of Israel and of Messiah. Ephesians and Revelation show how Messiah fulfills and magnifies that mission. To “be imitators of God” is to do what the Israelite did at the gate of the Mishkan: place our hands, and our hope, on the innocent Substitute (Yeshua), and then follow where He leads. It is to let His agapē love and His ḥesed loyalty reshape our worship, our work, and our relationships, so that our whole life becomes a “fragrant offering” to the God Who loves to dwell with His people.

Dateline 2 days ago: This week we were slightly late because we were busy with One Battles After Another (choosing what to eat on vacation, a recurring trial). Anyways what that is supposed to mean is apologies for the delay, here is an episode about Battles' first record, Mirrored.Also up for discussion: What is the shape of Mexico City and can it be contained to just one valley, Pitchfork appears to host an AI-written article about an AI-written album because this is hell, and did you know that one of the guys from Battles was in some other band with 1/1000th the clout? No? Well that's actually normal not to know, and it's nuts to pretend like that's common knowledge or to shame your co-hosts about it.10/10 You're Great is presented by The Alternative.

1. Alexander the Great's Divine Ambition and the Birth of Alexandria Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt began with the brutal siege of Gaza, where he mirrored the mythical wrath of Achilles by dragging the city's governor to his death. Seeking divine legitimacy, Alexander journeyed to the remote Siwa Oasis. There, the Oracle of Zeus Ammon confirmed his status as a god incarnate, a pivotal moment that elevated his identity from Macedonian king to world ruler. Before departing, he founded Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast, envisioning a global commercial and intellectual hub that looked outward toward the sea rather than inland toward the Nile. (1)

Mirror, Mirror on the wall ... This week, we have three stories from the 24 radio race in November of last year. The way it worked is that the audio producers received a prompt a week out from the radio race. On the day, there was a little bit of a brainstorm. And then the audio producers had 24 hours, working alone or in teams, to complete their stories. The theme for this year was ‘mirrored’. The theme for the 2025 Radio Race was mirrored in this episode, producers themselves mirrored in other people, imagining what would happen if your own reflection took over your life, or all the ways that we might actually fail to recognise our own reflection. R2 Detour by Ramon Briant Our first story is from Ramon Briant. You’re probably familiar with all the use cases or how AI will supposedly make our lives more … efficient.

Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Welcome back to Ten Things I Like About after a year end break. I hope the new year treats you well and opportunities abound. Let's get started! We will continue with Tuatara. The third thing I like about tuatara is reproduction. As we travel along with the journey of discovery with tuatara, I want to pose a question to you. Is the tuatara a lizard? Or is it something else? Based on the physical description I outlined in the first episode, they seem to be lizards, if not very lizard like. But I want you to keep this question in the back of your mind as we progress through each new episode. We will revisit this question at the end of this series and see what we all think. Okay, let's talk about how baby tuatara are made. Tuatara mating and reproduction is not like anything else in the reptile world. Long incubation periods, extensive maturation, and unusual consummation marks the reproductive cycle of the tuatara. It all begins sometime between January and March when males begin showing off to attract a mate. Remember those spines that they have on their neck and back, well they are there for pretties. They can fan out and shake the larger crest of spines in hopes of attracting a lady. For a long time we thought this was all the males did during the breeding season, but a study that looked more closely at males on Takapourewa Island revealed many more tricks they use to catch the ladies eye.  Boys will come a courting at a female's burrow and it can get complicated and lengthy. It might be a good idea that she gets to stay at home once all the excitement begins. First, the male adopts body positions that make him look big, such as inflating the body and gular region (that's the chin area), elevating his body off the forest floor (the up part of a push-up), and erecting those spines on his neck and back. Next, the male will begin the slow proud walk, also known as stolzer Gang, in a circle around the female. He'll perform this slow exaggerated walk in concentric circles, pausing occasionally, and decreasing the circle circumference with each pass. If the female is interested, she will leave her burrow entrance, allow the male to paw at her, and then mount her from behind. If there are obstacles in the male's circular path, they will climb over, or go around. If the obstacle is too big to conquer, they'll just shorten the circle to a semi-circle. I mean you gotta give them props for not getting distracted from their goal. The proud walk can last up to 44 minutes.    A few novel behaviors were observed by researchers studying the Takapourewa population. Mirrored head bobbing between the male and female was observed a few times, something that has not been seen in reptiles before. The male would bob his head a specific number of times and when he paused, the female would bob the small numbers of times. This was a very exciting discovery that will need more research to determine what it means and if it is found in other populations of tuatara, but how very interesting. Vocalizations in tuatara are typically limited to croaks emitted when handled, or during aggressive moments between males, but these researchers encountered several males that purred during the mating process. We aren't sure what this means or if this is a wide spread behavior but it is another exciting discovery. Once the female has accepted the male and he mounts her from behind, he positions his pelvis so that both of their cloacas come in contact. This is how he spreads his sperm to her. Males do not have special reproductive organs like most other reptiles. So they perform the cloacal kiss to pass their sperm to the female. Male sperm are fast swimmers. They are actually the fastest sperm in the reptile kingdom, moving two to four times faster than any other reptile's sperm. The female can store the sperm for 10 to 12 months.  Before all this happens, the female has been working on creating the eggs inside her body. It can take three years for a female to create and egg with yolk and an additional 7 to 8 months to create the shell. A female is only able to successfully breed every three to five years.  Once the eggs are ready and fertilized, the female can lay 1 to 19 soft-shelled, white eggs in her burrow. Incubation is extremely long at 12 to 15 months! Yes, it takes a year or more for baby tuatara to hatch into the world. This is unheard of in reptiles. Maybe not the best survival tactic for a species, but as we can see tuatara don't do anything quickly. Similar to some other reptiles, temperature during incubation is important to the sex of a hatchling. Warmer temperatures produce males while cooler temperatures create females.  The eggs are on their own during incubation and the hatchlings have to fight for life alone as soon as they emerge from the burrow. Neither parent remains at the nest to protect the eggs or hatchlings. If they survive their early years, they have to wait ten to twenty years before they can join the reproductive cycle.  In this episode, I think we've proven that tuatara don't do anything fast and that's why their reproductive cycle is my third favorite thing about them.     If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next week for another exciting episode about the tuatara.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company. Original music written and performed by Katherine Camp, piano extraordinaire.

[This episode originally aired April 2,2025] The secondhand clothing market isn't equipped for textile recycling. So when your donated clothes don't sell, where do they end up?With the rise of overconsumption and fast fashion, clothes have piled up in thrift stores, landfills, and incinerators around the world. Countries like Ghana and Chile are dealing with fashion waste from countries like the U.S., UK, and China, and the impacts are vast. Mountains of clothes lead to fires, polluted waterways, dying ocean life, and lost livelihoods. So how do we stop the cycle? How can we donate with purpose and dignity, and get fashion brands to actually take accountability for the full lifecycle of their clothes?Listen to hear what our community does with their used clothes, how a new law could force companies to clean up their act, and how Los Angeles's Suay Sew Shop is dealing with the untenable amount of clothing donations from wildfire relief. ➡️ If you want to support Suay Sew Shop, you can browse their site here and contribute to their Textiles Aren't Trash fire relief campaign. By the way, you can earn rewards for Suay purchases and donations in the Commons app!

"It looked like a copy-paste error in reality. They moved at the exact same millisecond."In recent years, a new phenomenon has emerged from the corners of the internet and lonely parking lots. Witnesses report seeing three identical men—dressed like generic background characters—moving in perfect, robotic unison. They don't speak. They don't blink. They just watch.Are they government agents? Ultraterrestrial observers? or... are they a "rendering error" in the simulation we call life?In this video, we dive deep into the legend of The Mirrored Men (aka The Synchronized Men), exploring the terrifying encounters at the Santa Monica Pier, the connection to the Men in Black, and the theory that reality is glitching right in front of us.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

Pappa Rodger and Kohberger: How Pappa Rodger Mirrored Kohberger's Survey Questions (And EVERYTHING Else!) If Segment 1 introduced the Pappa Rodger mystery, Segment 2 takes us straight into the details that make it impossible to ignore. The most unsettling? Pappa Rodger's prediction about a knife sheath before it was ever public knowledge. That wasn't a casual guess. That was either inside information or a voice speaking with terrifying precision. In this segment, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer break down the eerie overlaps between Pappa Rodger's online posts and Kohberger's criminology work. The survey questions, the fixation on entry points, the obsession with why this house was chosen — the parallels are chilling. Even down to specific vocabulary. Coffindaffer highlights how Pappa Rodger used the word “dolt” — a term uncommon enough to feel like a signature, and one that mirrors the academic arrogance Kohberger displayed in real life. And then came the confusion: Pappa Rodger disappearing from one group, only for a “copycat” with the same profile picture to appear. Was that Kohberger trying to cover his tracks, or someone else hijacking the persona? The ambiguity has fueled speculation for years. Law enforcement says it wasn't him. But then why do the words sound like his? Why does the timeline match his behavior? Why do his online arguments mirror how he treated students, professors, and acquaintances in person? This segment digs into the forensic linguistics, the digital breadcrumbs, and the bizarre coincidences that make Pappa Rodger one of the most enduring mysteries in the Kohberger case. If it wasn't him, then someone out there was haunting these forums with uncanny knowledge. And that may be the scariest possibility of all.

PENTECOST: The Day Christ Mirrored Heaven on Earth - Mike Blume

Send us a textJoin us on a quiet night of summer rain as we listen to rooks and explore the beauty and ambiguities of two liminal places with a lot in common. We learn about the web-footed fenmen and are guided by Luke Sherlock to a ruined church under haunting skies.   Journal entry:6th June, Friday“We walk through the sheep field As the rain pours down. My boot socks still wet from last night. The rooks muster noisily at the One Oak.Even the magpies' cackles cannot wake The lambs still asleep Nestled beneath the blackthorn hedge.” Episode Information:In this episode I read Edward Storey's ‘You walk the roof of the world here' and Jeff Moore's ‘The worked land.'

Thomas Hubert, Editor at The Currency, looks back at how Emeis Ireland, the company which owns the two nursing homes at the centre of the recent RTÉ Investigates programme, came to be in Ireland.

I didn't grow up driving. In Poland, I was terrified of it. But when I moved to the U.S. as an au pair, everything changed. My host families handed me the keys, first to a giant Chevy, then a little Honda, and eventually a Subaru I drove for years. All of them were given to me. I was still scared, still unsure, still depending on what was handed to me.In this episode, I take you through the timeline of how cars shaped my self-concept. From co-signing for my ex's Mercedes (and never driving it), to buying my first Range Rover in cash simply because I liked how it looked, even though I had no idea what I was doing. From forcing myself to drive into Manhattan every Friday for Landmark classes (because if I wanted to grow, I had to drive), to walking into a dealership after quitting my job and negotiating my first Mercedes with a female salesperson.And then came the G-Wagon. It wasn't about money, I could afford it. It was about visibility. About wondering if it was too much. But I got it anyway. That car became my armor, my office, my way of saying “I'm doing this, even if I'm still scared.” And I grew. Big time. Financially, emotionally, professionally. Until I didn't need the armor anymore.That's when I walked into Porsche, asked for exactly what I wanted, paid in full, and drove off in a car that felt like me. Not the version of me who needed to prove anything. The version who knows who she is.This episode isn't about cars. It's about expansion, ownership, and the physical things that can support your growth, if you're intentional. A Chanel bag won't make you confident. A Mercedes won't fix your self-worth. But if you're already evolving, the right container, whether it's a car, a move, or coaching, can help you step into it faster.If you're in a season of becoming and this resonates, reach out. ⁠⁠⁠https://monikaamazur.as.me/CoffeeandGoals⁠⁠⁠

Send us a textA sweltering Florida chain gang. Mirrored sunglasses reflecting only your own desperate face. Fifty hard-boiled eggs and one man determined to defy expectations. "What we've got here is failure to communicate" isn't just the most famous line from Cool Hand Luke – it's the perfect distillation of this landmark film's exploration of rebellion against authority.Our deep dive into this 1967 masterpiece reveals why Paul Newman's portrayal of Luke Jackson remains one of cinema's most enduring symbols of resistance. Sentenced to two years for the minor offense of decapitating parking meters, Luke transforms from troublemaker to legend through his refusal to bow to the system. From the brutal boxing match where he won't stay down to his daring escapes that inspire his fellow inmates, Luke's journey resonates with anyone who's ever felt crushed by institutional power.The religious symbolism throughout the film surprised us – Luke as a Christ-like figure sacrificing himself for others, the crucifixion pose after eating fifty eggs, his final confrontation in a church. We explore how director Stuart Rosenberg created authentic performances by keeping actors in prison-like conditions during filming, even having them pave actual roads under the Florida sun. Paul Newman's determination to personally learn "Plastic Jesus" on the banjo resulted in one of the film's most moving scenes.Whether you're revisiting this classic or discovering it for the first time, Cool Hand Luke's examination of freedom, identity, and resistance against conformity remains as powerful today as when it first shocked audiences. Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand – and sometimes a film from 1967 can still shake your world.Check out entertainthispodcast.com or follow us on social media @entertainthis_ to join our ongoing exploration of films that shaped cinema history.Support the show

So when your donated clothes don't sell, where do they end up?With the rise of overconsumption and fast fashion, clothes have piled up in thrift stores, landfills, and incinerators around the world. Countries like Ghana and Chile are dealing with fashion waste from countries like the U.S., UK, and China, and the impacts are vast. Mountains of clothes lead to fires, polluted waterways, dying ocean life, and lost livelihoods. So how do we stop the cycle? How can we donate with purpose and dignity, and get fashion brands to actually take accountability for the full lifecycle of their clothes?Listen to hear what our community does with their used clothes, how a new law could force companies to clean up their act, and how Los Angeles's Suay Sew Shop is dealing with the untenable amount of clothing donations from wildfire relief. ➡️ If you want to support Suay Sew Shop, you can browse their site here and contribute to their Textiles Aren't Trash fire relief campaign. By the way, you can earn rewards for Suay purchases and donations in the Commons app!

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas dissect Daredevil: Born Again Episode 7, “Art for Art's Sake.” With Muse's storyline abruptly cut short and Kingpin's dark side reawakening, the episode leaves fans both frustrated and intrigued. We talk character motivations, missed opportunities, jaw-dropping moments, and what this all means as the show hurtles toward the finale. Also, shoutout to Apple TV's The Studio—we've got a hot new comedy recommendation you won't want to miss. ⏱️ Timestamps & Topics: 00:00 Introduction and first impressions 00:25 Muse's abrupt ending and missed villain potential 01:36 Muse's motivations vs. lost storytelling opportunity 03:24 The therapist connection and what was missing 04:30 Muse's character in the comics vs. the show 05:06 Alternate endings and writing what could've been 06:01 Vigilante task force development and character cracks 08:09 Vanessa's secret moves and Kingpin's true nature 10:25 Power shifts, betrayals, and Vanessa's motivations 12:04 Mirrored arcs of Matt and Fisk 13:22 The return of Karen Page and Daredevil's emotional grounding 15:29 Adam: Kingpin's punching bag or pressure valve? 16:40 Fisk's rise through legal channels mirrors comic roots 17:24 New York as a character and who really protects it 18:40 Sherry's confrontation with Matt and moral questions 20:41 Muse fight choreography and ADR fail 23:52 Fixing the series—rewrites and Bob Iger's intervention 25:40 Show Recommendation: The Studio on Apple TV 27:56 Final thoughts and listener shoutouts ✅ Key Takeaways: Muse's arc was a major letdown, especially given his deep comic origins as an Inhuman with sensory-disrupting powers. Vanessa manipulates Kingpin back to his criminal roots, proving she's the real power behind the throne. Daredevil and Fisk are perfectly mirrored this season, both believing they need to unleash their darker sides to save New York. Episode 7 suffered from rushed pacing, missing an opportunity to build suspense with Muse's obsession. The vigilante task force and North's internal struggle are promising but need more screen time. The rewrites are clearly working—shifting the tone back toward what fans loved in the Netflix series while keeping things fresh.

It's finally here, the epic conclusion of Campaign 2! Will our heroes defeat Galfus? Will Liz stay behind with Mindy? Will Obie finally use every random item in his backpack? Will D convince a random Orc that they need to seize the means of production and rise up to begin a new future without Queens or Lords? We'll certainly find out. The post C2E153.
